217705 divided by 85 
Our goal is to divide 217705 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
85 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
85 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 85

On to step 3:
If we divide 217 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 170 from 217 and we're left with 47.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 477 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 477 5 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 425 from 477 and we're left with 52.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 520 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
85 goes into 520 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256.0
Subtract 510 from 520 to get 10.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 105 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
105 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2561.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 85 from 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2561.2
Subtracting 170 from 200 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2561.23
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 450 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2561.235
Subtracting 425 from 450 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
85 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2561.2352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2561.23529
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 765 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2561.235294
Subtracting 340 from 350 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2561.2352941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 150 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2561.23529411
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 85 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2561.23529411, and the remainder is 6.5e-08.
